Excellent resource
The Carson Dellosa resource book Summarizing, from the Spotlight on Reading series is a great resource to supplement any reading program. This is an often difficult skill for first and second grades to grasp and then master. The activities in this resource are scaffolded in a manner that helps the teacher build lessons appropriate for all learners. In addition to the materials in the book you are also given access to the Carson Dellosa site that offers additional free resources for all subjects. Priced at $1.99 in eBook form or $4.99 in printed form this is a great value. It is a well laid out resource worth having for re-teaching or differentiating instruction in your first or second grade classroom.

Great Resource
I love this book! It is just what I need for my class. The story passages are short and easy for my kids to read and understand. There are a variety of activities in this book-everything from poetry to nonfiction selections. I used this with my RtI groups and the kids loved it.

Great Resource!
Summarizing is a skill I have struggled with teaching to my kindergarten students. I ordered this hoping I could use this at the end of kindergarten to help some of students who were struggling. I feel this is too difficult for most kindergarten students. However, I think this would be a great tool for first and second grade teachers to use both to enrich students and to provide interventions for struggling students. This workbook builds on the concept of summarizing. At the beginning students are filling in the blank and by the end they are writing complete summaries.

Summarizing
Summarizing is such a difficult skill for students to learn, isn't it? This workbook uses activities which are scaffold to help students master the concept. It starts with having students fill in the blank to complete a summary. By the end, students are writing full summaries of the provided passages. Passage formats include: poetry, stories, maps, and nonfiction selections. Topics are high interest for 1st and 2nd graders and include: weather, seasons, insects, animals, people, and more. It includes passages with comprehension questions, asking for answers to be provided in complete sentences. I know my students always need more practice with that skill! I look forward to using it in my classroom.

Spotlight on Reading
The Spotlight on Reading, Summarizing for grades 1-2, is both educational and fun. This workbook has 40 different activities across all subject areas. There are many different formats like poetry, non-fiction and maps that will help students strengthen their summarizing skills. Some activities have a “try this” activity for students that get done early or even students that need a little extra help. These activities are high interest that will help students understand the skill. The activities range from easy to hard and perfect for home or school. My students have enjoyed reading the stories about animals, food and money. One student was looking through the book and said he couldn’t wait until they got to do the train activity. This is a great resource for any elementary teacher.
